Trident: we don't buy it!

Politicians, press, cameras - it's been a busy day aboard the Arctic Sunrise. Four Members of Scottish Parliament (MSPs) welcomed the Arctic Sunrise into Leith, and launched our new ship tour: "Trident: we don't buy it".

More than 40 years after the UK government signed an international treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons, Tony Blair's planning to reverse all that, and rush through plans to build new weapons - a replacement for Trident. Labour's plans aren't going down well in Scotland - three out of four Scottish people oppose wasting some £76 billion on Trident.

Listen to what our visiting MSPs - from the Liberal Democrat, Scottish National, Green and Scottish Socialist parties - have to say:

Mike Pringle MSP (Lib Dem):





Fiona Hyslop MSP (Scottish Nationalist Party):



Robin Harper MSP (Green):



Colin Fox MSP (Scottish Socialist Party):



Take action!
Please write to your MP today to tell them you don't want the government to build a new generation of nuclear weapons.
